Where can Open Baffle speakers be placed


Anxiously, I am currently waiting for the delivery of a NAD M33 integrated amp.
I think I would like to upgrade and pair it with the open baffle Spatial M3 Sapphire.

I'm currently running a pair of KEF LS50's with a pair of REL T/5i subs.
My listening room is small 12' wide 13' long. With the speakers 8" off the wall and the subs 12" off.
I wouldn't be able to place the M3's further than 12" off the wall.
I realize open baffles like space.
Can this be done or should I just stick with the current speaker set-up and consider something else?

bad idea.  this would defeat what OB speakers are all about.  Minimum of 2-3 feet suggested.
Even 2-3 feet is sub-optimal. 5' is much better; that creates the required 10ms delay between front wave and reflected rear wave arrival times at the listening position.
